First, I know that what I'm doing would be a heck of a lot easier if I were
using CFMX, but I'm stuck with 4.5/5.0 for the foreseeable future.

I'm beginning development on a system that needs to connect to a third-party
site. We're going to establish the connection using XML with a
Request/Response. Since the third-party will actually be implementing the
system to provide the response, and they've not implemented it yet, I want
to create a simplified version of what I expect back from them for testing.

I can create my XML request, make the connection via MSXML, and parse the
response no problems. To this point, the response I'm giving back is just a
static file.

Are you still with me? What I want to do is add some intelligence to the
Response so I can test things like error trapping and the like. My question
is, how do I read in the request? I'm doing a POST, so I assumed that I
could just grab the FORM structure and use that. However, when I use CFDUMP
on the FORM, the "<?XML VERSION" becomes the sole fieldname and everything
after the "=" becomes the data. Is this correct? Do I have to 're-join'
these two elements to work with them? How do I get the POST request into a
variable that I can parse?

I think I'm missing something obvious here. Can someone point me in the
right direction?
